The
Juvenile Justice Commission Court Liaisons act as the
bridge between the Family Court and the Juvenile Justice
Commission. In this role, Court Liaisons are responsible
for diverting juveniles from the Juvenile Justice Commission
to community-based programs when deemed appropriate
by the courts. When local diversion is not appropriate,
Court Liaisons will seek placement in a JJC residential
group center, the New Jersey Training School or a contracted
bed.

Court
Liaisons are involved in all aspects of the juvenile
justice system. Additional responsibilities include:
coordinating juvenile justice system issues with counties,
representing the JJC on County Youth Services Commissions,
and supporting the JJC's continuum of care not only
through coordinating initial placement, but also by
working with aftercare to ensure that youth returning
to their communities are properly supported.
